30 Matamoros Industrial Park
The Quimica Fluor plant in Matamoros' main industrial park, where US corporations
have large maquiladora factories making goods for the US market. Maquiladora
workers and their families live in poverty, in neighborhoods contaminated
by toxic chemicals. This plant makes hydrofluoric acid, and the huge mountain
of white powder toxic waste is a byproduct of the process. The powder
is often dumped in workers' barrios.
